ICF to Expand Disaster Management, Recovery
and Mitigation Services Across Territory
RESTON,
Va., July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Government of Puerto Rico's Public
Private Partnership Authority recently awarded global consulting
and digital services provider ICF (NASDAQ: ICFI) an $84 million contract to continue supporting
long-term disaster recovery and mitigation efforts across the
territory. The recompete contract, which is administered by
the Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction and Resiliency
(COR3), has a term of three years, including a one-year base and
two one-year option periods.
ICF's disaster management experts, 95% of whom are based on the
island, will deliver grant management support to assist COR3 in
dispersing Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds quickly
and compliantly. The company will leverage their proprietary
cloud-based grants management platform disasTRAX® to centralize and
accelerate grants management and reporting.
"COR3 is leading a disaster recovery effort which is
unprecedented in scale, scope and complexity," said Anne Choate, ICF executive vice president for
energy, environment and infrastructure. "We are proud to continue
to play a pivotal role in building local capacity and improving how
funds get moved into the hands of local communities more
efficiently, ultimately achieving COR3's vision of creating a
stronger, more prosperous Puerto
Rico."
Since 2018, ICF has partnered with COR3, providing disaster
recovery grant management services across multiple disasters
ranging from hurricanes Maria, Irma and Fiona to earthquakes and
more. Activities include request for reimbursement processing and
providing technical support to Puerto Rican government agencies,
municipalities and private nonprofit organizations. To date, the
company has helped COR3 disburse over $9
billion in funds, including $2
billion in 2023, to accelerate recovery for people and
communities in need across the island.
For over 20 years, ICF has been on the ground for some of the
most significant natural disasters in U.S. history—serving over 150
U.S. state and local communities across over 86 disasters and
managing over $88 billion in federal
disaster recovery and mitigation funds. The company supports
communities across the disaster management lifecycle and is an
industry leader in end-to-end mitigation services—from assessment
to public engagement and planning through implementation.
